We Made it to the Great Barrier Reef

Carl and I with our friend Michael spent our last week in Australia up in the great barrier reef on Hamilton island. It was an area of Australia we really wanted to see before we left, and Carl and Michael were excited to put their newly minted dive certifications to work while I snorkled (on the hunt for Nemo!). We also had the chance to hold koalas and go on a plane ride over the great barrier reef and to Whitehaven beach which is only accessible by boat or plane -- its the whitest sand we've ever seen. It was a very relaxing week before the chaos of the move, and a great conclusion to our Aussie adventure.
